Canyon Creek Lakes Fishing in Trinity County, California

• Overview

  You will find Canyon Creek Lakes in Trinity County, California. The country here is open valley. About 17 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Size puts it in the front rank of our Trinity County list. Supplies mean a trip to Weaverville, 17 miles off. Chico sits 106 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Canyon Creek Lakes

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Fish documented in Trinity County include rainbow trout, Chinook salmon, brook trout, klamath smallscale sucker and bluegill. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. The shape of Canyon Creek Lakes rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August near 57°F and December near 32°F on the long-run figures. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. That is the shape of the year on Canyon Creek Lakes.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Little Lake is 0.9 miles off. Treat Canyon Creek Lakes as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
